My perspective on this " hate crime " controversy is truly
LEFT WING LIBERAL even if THEY don't believe. Your columnist Terzian
made sense on the issue. Bakst's comment on the utility of hate crime
legislation was heartfelt but foolish. Will will Patinkin comment on
the issue -or is just not fluffy enough ?
I expect common sense from Bob Kerr and Froma Harrop. They rarely
disappoint.
Headline on page A6 : " Reno presses hate crime legislation ".
I do respect this woman but she does have the cloud of Waco hanging
over her head. Hate crime is intolerable in our society but it is OKAY
to risk burning little children alive if they happen to be pawns of
right wing crackpot fugitives from the law ?
I suggest Reno read the piece in your oped page today : " Make torture
illegal in the U.S. " I did not know that it was legal ! I guess it is
OKAY to torture a criminal exactly the way that Wyoming gay man was tortured
- but it would not be a " hate crime " - just part of a judicial investigation.
Perhaps the criminal was connected to the Aryan Nation conspiracy !
One of the Kennedy kin MAY have been involved in the torture sex
crime death of a young girl . But the man will get the best legal defense
that money can buy. And after all - be he guilty or not guilty - it was
at least not a hate crime !
The mendacity of our laws !
